Pilgrim walks in Garsten

In the morning we take time to explore the historic town of Steyr. In the afternoon we hike along the Steyr river via Christkindl to Sierning.

The „Via Rosina“ is a themed trail about the secret Protestant Rosina Steinauer. The start is in Mitterbach am Erlaufsee and it leads into the Scharten, connecting to the „Trail of the Book“.

Sporty pilgrims in good physical condition can complete the original route of the Mariazellerweg in seven stages. In total, we cover a distance of 172 kilometers, with a maximum daily distance of 31.9 kilometers.

A hike in the untouched nature of the Kalkalpen National Park, completely away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, awaits us on the royal stage of the Mariazell Pilgrimage Trail. In the south-east of Steyr, we make a pilgrimage to Damberg and Schwarzberg, enjoying wonderful views on all sides and being inspired by the seclusion of this mystical region. At an altitude of 1000 meters (the highest point of today's stage) we reach the Spadenberg and later the Geierkogel and from now on hike downhill to Maria Neustift.

An eventful pilgrimage in the footsteps of nobility, religion and tradition awaits us between St. Florian and Steyr. We pass the Maria Laah pilgrimage church, climb the Pfaffenstiege, admire the mausoleum of the Auersperg dynasty, hike through fairytale forests and finally see the Christkindl from afar - even though there is no snow yet.
